FIRMS END LOBBYING TIES WITH HUAWEI: Two lobby shops have stopped working for Chinese telecom firm Huawei Technologies in recent weeks. Former Rep. Michael Oxley’s (R-Ohio) firm, Baker Hostetler, and Strategic Federal Affairshave both filed lobbying terminations with the Senate, according to filings. The termination of Baker Hostetler was first reported by The Blog of Legal Times. The terminations follow a House Intelligence Committee investigation, and Rep. Frank Wolf (R-Va.) has also taken the company to task and some of the lobbyists that work for it over the company's operations in Iran. Two other contract firms — Canyon Snow Consulting and Fleishman-Hillard — for the company haven’t filed termination papers, though they have reported no lobbying activity on behalf of the group in 2012.

Bill Plummer, a spokesman for Huawei, told PI: “Such relationships change all the time in Washington and should not be interpreted to signal anything unique. Huawei will maintain business as usual in Washington. We have a story to tell and facts to share, and we will continue to do so.” The House committee said in its report last year that Huawei could pose a significant national security threat to the U.S. APCO Worldwide and Strategic Public Affairs are still lobbying on behalf of the company, which spent $1.7 million on lobbying in 2012.

GOOD FRIDAY AFTERNOON, where it’s been just 17 years to the day since America’s last hanging. Billy Bailey was convicted of the murder of an elderly couple, and was sentenced to hanging at his 1980 trial. But by the time he exhausted his appeals, Delaware had changed their method of execution to lethal injection. Bailey, however, chose hanging and became the third person in 50 years to be executed in that manner in the United States. He was put to death on Jan. 25, 1996. Before that, the previous two hangings were in Washington state. Send your K Street news, gossip and advice on where toget the best sloe gin fizz to btau@politico.com orapalmer@politico.com.

OBAMA EMAIL LIST NOW TOPS 20 MILLION: Obama for America (now organized as a tax-exempt nonprofit group called Organizing for Action) has an email list of more than 20 million people, former campaign manager Jim Messina told a group of top donors last week. The exact number of emails harvested by the Obama campaign since 2007 has been a closely guarded campaign secret, but Messina told donors: “We've built over a hundred different technology applications, there were 2.2 million volunteers, we have 20-some million emails.” That’s up from the 13 million that the campaign reportedly had at the end of the 2008 cycle — and gives the president’s new nonprofit one of the biggest email lists (if not the biggest) ever assembled in politics.

OBAMA’S 'GRASSROOTS' NONPROFIT: Organizing for Action has quietly sought support from the same rich donors who backed Obama’s campaigns, asking for help from Democratic donors and bundlers in town for the Inauguration at a closed-door corporate-sponsored confab.
